We were in Durand Friday and Saturday. stayed at the Quality Inn. first followed GLC from Cadillac to Clare, whwere we paced the train to that point. Two of the new units and #391 led a long train of short new hoppers (not the Wexford Sand ones, but a lot of other ones like GATX, etc. And a couple loads of poles that got dropped off before Clare. Empty lumber car, and plastics hoppers.
In Durand, I've seen more trains that I've ever seen during the daylight! Sever times two trains passing at one time. And CN picked up those sand hoppers that GLC brought south. Traffice must be picking up a bit, eh? Seemed like a steady stream of trains, even during the mid day when it seems like it usually dies down. That's it for now!
